Using colored paper - resulting document colors

[Vespasian]

Hello,

Is there any option to preview how a document may look when printing on
colored paper? Once the color from the document mixes with the paper color,
you don't necessarily get text/images in the color they appear on your screen.

You could draw a rectangle on the Master page, fill it with any color. When you
are ready to print, view, ignore Master Page.

I don't think this is what I'm looking for.

I am looking for something that takes into account how colors may appear to
change when printing on colored paper. For example, if I have a green color
filled rectangle and print it on blue paper, the rectangle may not look green

I'm not sure that's what the user was looking for - ink soaks into the
paper rather than sitting on top of it (unless it's coated paper) and
isn't always completely opaque anyway, so red on black won't look the
same on paper as red with a black shape on the master page in Publisher.

That said, I have no better suggestions :-(

You are asking for something that can't be done easily. You are going to
have to take the color of the paper into consideration when planning your
documents.
